Israelis singing “I will survive” as they party it up in a bomb shelter, and the lead singer is dressed up as Maduro for Purim.
Too good.
“Vaccination remains the most effective way to protect yourselves and those around you (from measles)”
Ok. Who had this on their 2026 Bingo card? Representing the 140,000+ Iranian population in Los Angeles waving USA, Israel, and Iranian flags together while handing roses to LAPD.
No violence. No riots. No property damage— just celebration for the promise of FREEDOM. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷
How can something this bad happen at @wsj? It makes you wonder about bias against @VPrasadMDMPH
Amazing by NBC. Nice to hear about such generosity.
INCREDIBLE SCENES IN TIMES SQUARE: Hundreds of Iranians in tears, belting out their TRUE national anthem, chanting THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP for ending Khamenei’s terror reign!
The regime is FALLING — and the people are celebrating! Leftist noise? Completely overwhelmed.
Where in the history of the world have you seen citizens raise the flag of the country that just attacked them, dance with it, and cheer?
Exactly. This is absolute proof that this is NOT a war. This is a Liberation Operation.
Right now, the people of Iran and Israel are the happiest people on earth.
A new, peaceful Middle East is finally being born! 🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸
🇮🇷 Massive crowd of violent anti-U.S., anti-Trump Iranians demanding that we stop bombing their country!
Oh wait! They’re waving US flags, thanking Trump/US, & begging for much more until the regime is out.
Don’t listen to @GavinNewsom - people want it!
🇮🇷 My good friend @DrHMelamed - who lived in Iran but before and during the Islamic regime, has a message for @cenkuygur @AnaKasparian @TuckerCarlson & so many other defenders of the regime.
Watch to the end!
🚨 WOW! Iranians showed up and placed flowers for the fallen US troops at the American consulate in Toronto, HUNDREDS of them are yelling "US ARMY, THANK YOU" 🇺🇸
The whole world recognizes the INCREDIBLE feat America just pulled off under President Trump!
This little girl just lit up the national anthem, pure heart, full throttle, zero woke. Gave me chills straight to the bone because I'm an American, not some soy-sipping globalist.
A week ago Team USA men’s hockey team gave us this all-time moment by honoring Johnny Hockey after they won the gold medal…
I’ll never not tear up thinking about it
🤬 WHY does legacy media insist on making recently killed tyrannical Islamic dictators seem like good guys who were martyred?
@khamenei_ir & Al Baghdadi didn’t “die.” They were KILLED for being terrorist leaders & human monsters. Period.
What’s your problem @wapo @nytimes ?!
🇮🇷 As a Jewish Persian who fled the 1979 revolution as a little boy, I never thought I would live to see this.
But here we are.
This Monday night and Tuesday — March 2 and 3 — Purim falls.
And I am officially proposing something bold, joyful, and long overdue:
Purim is no longer just a Jewish holiday.
It is now Iran’s holiday. And the world’s.
A global celebration of the defeat of evil — whenever and wherever it rises.
Let me tell you the story in plain words, because every Persian, every Christian, every secular Muslim, every person who loves freedom needs to hear it right now.
In ancient Persia (the very land we call Iran today), an evil man named Haman — the second-most powerful figure in the empire — hatched a plan to kill every single Jew in the kingdom. One day, one decree, total annihilation.
But a secretly Jewish queen named Esther stepped forward. She risked her life, revealed her identity to the king, and exposed Haman’s genocidal plot. Haman was hanged on the very gallows he had built for the Jews. His 75,000 henchmen who had armed themselves to carry out the massacre were defeated instead. The Jewish people were saved.
That is Purim.
It’s why we call it the Jewish Halloween — costumes, noise, heavy drinking, pure joy.
We read the whole story aloud from the Megillah. Every time Haman’s name is mentioned, we boo, stomp, shake noisemakers, and drown it out with cheers.
We eat triangular cookies called Hamantashen — shaped like Haman’s ears (or his hat, depending who you ask) — so we literally bite off a piece of the villain every year.
And this year?
This year is the living, breathing repeat of Purim — but for all the Persian people and the entire world.
Ali Khamenei — the modern Haman who hijacked our beautiful Iran, who armed October 7, who murdered tens of thousands of his own citizens, who gouged eyes and hung teenagers — is dead.
His top enablers and IRGC commanders are gone with him.
The gallows they built for the Iranian people have been turned against them.
The evil regime that stole our country in 1979 has just suffered its own Purim miracle.
So here is my invitation to every single one of you — Christian, secular Muslim, atheist, Persian, Israeli, American, anyone who cheered when the tumor was finally removed:
This Monday night and Tuesday, go celebrate Purim like it’s your holiday — because it now is.
Find a synagogue near you. No excuse - at the very least there’s a @Chabad in every corner of the planet— they are the most welcoming, joyful, open-hearted communities on earth. They will embrace you with open arms, delicious food, and zero judgment.
Register in advance for security (these are crazy but beautiful times).
Bring your kids in costumes. Dress up as Queen Esther, as Persian kings and queens, fighter pilots, even @realDonaldTrump — whatever makes you smile.
Be ready to eat, drink (a lot — it’s a mitzvah!), laugh, and make maximum noise every single time Haman’s name is read.
Let the booing be for Khamenei too.
Let the cheers be for a free Iran, a peaceful Middle East, and a world finally rid of that 47-year nightmare.
Purim has always been about the underdog defeating the tyrant in the very heart of Persia.
Today the story has come full circle.
The evil has been hanged.
The people are rising.
The light is winning.
So let’s make this the first global Purim — a holiday for every Iranian who wants their country back, and every human being who believes evil must fall.
Come celebrate with us.
The regime’s Haman is dead.
Now let the real Persia — free, proud, and joyful — live again.
Who’s with me?
Monday and Tuesday.
Synagogues. Costumes. Hamantashen. Cheers.
For Iran. For Israel. For freedom. For all of us.
🇮🇷❤️🇮🇱🎉
Bring everyone you know.
The world has waited 2,500 years for this encore.
Let’s make it the loudest, happiest Purim in history.
As a political economist I'm fascinated that science & medicine have collapsed throughout the developed world. There were people engaged in intentional demolition — Gates, Baric, Fauci, etc. But they met no resistance from leaders in the field who in fact welcomed the corruption.
It was an Olympic moment full of the milk of human kindness. John and Matty were fine fellows. John’s absence on the ice was noted even by @TeamCanada. We may have lost but to see that kind of emotional investment by the winners in an absent colleague took our breath away. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
I was bombed in Iran during the Iran Iraq war. I do not take war lightly.
Having been in war and seeing and feeling the negative effects of it long-term, as well as also seeing the negative effects of decades of tyranny and oppression of the Iranian people, and now seeing an Islamist agenda spreading throughout the world, I welcomed this action against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
We have family in Iran. We love them and communicate with them. They also want an end to this tyranny. And we all want there to be the least amount of casualties as possible.
This morning, my family was on our WhatsApp group chat. My male cousin cried. People were dancing and singing. People expressed their worries and philosophized and dreamed and worried about the future, which is always unknown and insecure. We were not celebrating war for war’s sake. We were celebrating a potential end to this tyrannical regime that killed and imprisoned and maimed its own people. And we were celebrating leadership, battle and warfare as a means to an end of that darkness.
Great post, Lucy, and I agree with you. I'm not sure she's the best choice, to be honest. I think you would do a great job, I think @anish_koka or @drjohnm or @DrJMarine would as well.
However, she was bullied by Sen Murray into providing a clear and direct answer on flu shots and she didn't cave. I think that's important. She does get nuance. That said, I don't think she should have used the word "horrifying" re birth control pills. At the root of all this, I realize, is communication. It's still an art, isn't it? And what are we really looking for from a Surgeon General? What do we want from this position?

“When we were first invited to Milan for the Olympics, we said no. It felt like more than we could handle. But we kept thinking about what John and Matty would say if they knew we turned it down. We knew the answer.
John loved representing his country. From the time he was little, he dreamed of competing at the Olympics. In that final summer, he was working harder than ever, pushing himself with everything he had to earn a spot on that roster. He was going to be there.
Sitting with that knowledge while watching these Games was not easy — but being present for them, surrounded by people who truly cared about John and Matty, made it something we will always treasure.
Every person we encountered took the time to ask about the boys — who they were, what they meant to us, the kind of people they were away from the ice.
What struck us most was realizing that John and Matty's impact reaches so much further than we sometimes see in our own grief.
They are carried by so many people — in locker rooms, in conversations, in quiet moments we will never even know about. That means everything to us.
And then Team USA won gold. When Zach, Auston, and Matthew carried John's jersey around that ice, we were overwhelmed — they made sure he was there. And then to see Noa and Johnny — on Johnny's second birthday — carried out onto the ice to be part of that gold medal photo — there are no words for what that felt like.
John and Matty should have been there, and in that moment, they were.
Thank you to every member of that team for loving John & Matty - and for making sure they were part of something historic. And thank you to everyone at >@NBCOlympics and @usahockey for your kindness, your generosity, and for bringing our family to Milan to witness it.
You gave us a gift we didn't know we needed.
With love and gratitude,
The Gaudreau Family"
GREAT step by @Target.
Starting in May, all cereals sold at Target will be free from petroleum-based food dyes.

The raw figure was 5.1%, but they aggressively weeded it down to 2.8%, which was still insanely high for a healthy cohort of healthcare workers with no recent cardiac events

I'm still so proud of these guys and just so thankful to be a part of hockey life and culture. It has given our family so much joy. The team first attitude, grit, discipline, toughness - all a part of it.
Roughly 30 million Americans claim some form of serious harm from the Covid vaccines.
High quality studies have shown that a single mRNA shot induces heart inflammation in up to 5% of people who get them.
This panel is long overdo.

Abbey Murphy from the USA women's hockey team on the men's team's deeply scandalous phone call with President Trump:
“We never felt anything bad from them… It’s sad they even have to apologize for anything.”
Olympic legend Kaillie Humphries has come out as a Trump support after medaling in Milan Cortina.
Now as the most accomplished women's bobsled pilot in history, Kaillie is sharing her support for saving women's sports, her defense of the US men's hockey team after backlash from the left, and her belief in strict immigration enforcement as a legal immigrant to the US from Canada.
.@SecKennedy’s team has done hundreds of meetings with retailers to discuss how to use the MAHA political moment to push positive change.
When a retailer like Target enforces requirements, it moves the entire market.
I’m looking forward to more major announcements.
The standing ovations Jack Hughes is getting everywhere he goes are further proof that the loud minority of mentally ill USA hockey haters live in an online fantasy bubble.
America loves you, Legend! 🇺🇸🦅
NEWS: The UK is going to force the adult gender clinics that refused to share data on former pediatric gender patients with the Cass Review to hand over the data so investigators can study what became of the 9,000 people seen by that clinic.

“The destruction… might take generations to repair.”
That’s the damage from RFK — eroding vaccine confidence, weakening public health, and diminishing U.S. scientific credibility.
When a leading medical journal uses language like this, it’s not rhetoric.
It’s a warning the world should take seriously.
Thank you to all of the 🇺🇸 military! This was for all of you! Thank you for doing everything that you do so that we can play the game that we love! Our Olympic Team 🇺🇸 talked daily about playing our hearts out for the military and all first responders!
The golden goal by Meg Keller couldn’t have happened to a better person. Hero for life 🙏🇺🇸🫡
I used to produce her women’s hockey podcast. One the best talent I had ever worked with
Secretary Kennedy is special.
Listen to this advice 👇
To the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team: Thank you for being outstanding athletes and strong role models for our kids. Thank you for showing that it’s still okay to love the USA out loud.
One thing the moms in Moms for Liberty have learned of the years: Don’t cave in to the woke struggle sessions, just hold your head up high.
Gold medals.
Gratitude.
And a little bit of patriotism.
Imagine being mad about that? 🇺🇸🏒
The advice that all children should avoid peanut butter until age 3 was medical dogma that ended up being perfectly backwards.
This is hands down the best FDA team we are likely to ever have from a Science/citizen standpoint if the focus is on getting drugs to market that actually work and are safe.
🙏 @DrMakaryFDA @VPrasadMDMPH @TracyBethHoeg for your service
We were impressed with the CHARACTER of Team USA Hockey this week even more than their gold medals. You could not find a more genuine, humble and patriotic group of guys. They represent America so well!
As just one example, when brothers Jack and Quinn Hughes heard that my 15 yr old son Will had to miss the gathering because he was sick, they offered to call him on FaceTime to check on him and say hello. He’ll never forget it!
